Images of Repose - Word for Wednesday

Australian willow tree and Osmoxylon lineare (Green Aralia) bush

This is my favourite spot at the rooftop Secret Garden of 1-Utama, my weekend hideout cum retreat. I like to sit here and contemplate or just listen to the soothing sounds from the mini-waterfall. The air is cool and fresh. Sometimes I get to enjoy a whiff of fragrance from my favourite blooms and occassionally a busy bee whizzes by.

Hi i've been waiting for you, it looks like not many are joining Repose. I am with you with the feelings at that Secret Garden, however you can surely make one near your house so it would be nearer and you can always be there when at home. Who will say that the first photo is not at ground level! It looks like an ordinary botanical garden. How beautiful. I also personally like the willow tree, though i haven't planted it in our property as it might not like a very dry area.

Good morning my dear frens! Thank you very much for enjoying 'repose' with me here.

This willow tree is very beautiful. I love the way the branches dangle gracefully down from the top. I enjoy the skywatch view of its foliage. This tree also has a beautiful peeling bark but not many people here appreciate/notice this unique feature. Maybe it is because we do not have winters with bare landscapes - a time for tree trunks and branches to exhibit their true beauty.
